Getting started with Audio Content App

I'm trying to get started putting together an Audio App however I'm struggling to get past the "hello world" phase.

I've initialized a new app, read through the getting started guides and studied the example app in the GitHub repo but I still can't get my head around getting the app to display a view - any view - other than "No Media".

What could I be missing?

I've tried logging out to all the functions from the entry point and further and end up with the following logs but at no point do I seem to hit "getInitialView" or "configurePlaybackView".
I'm simulating on a FR645m (I happen to own this model) and pressing the menu button loads the skip forward/backward options.

I'm a developer by profession but for whatever reason, something is eluding me here :D

Any pointers in the right direction to get basic "Hello World" view of the ground would be much appreciated.

onStart null
getContentDelegate null
ContentDelegate#getContentIterator
ContentIterator#getPlaybackProfile
ContentIterator#peekPrevious
ContentIterator#get
ContentIterator#canSkip
ContentIterator#peekNext
ContentIterator#shuffling

never coded audio app so I may be or likely to be off base.

getinitialview is called typicaly from the app.mc file.

There is a sample that garmin has posted on github:

I've tried logging out from that function (same as the others, and I doesn't fire)

I've spent a lot of time looking at this project. The first view instruction comes from within "configurePlaybackView" but according to the logs from my own app, this is never called.

Any suggestions or pointers would be really helpful

Have you tried running the garmin sample? It might be easier to understand the flow if you see it run.
